Our customer stories on their network transformation

We’re proud to have worked with customers across the globe, transforming networks and building new possibilities, together. But don’t take it from us. Here are their stories on our collaborative projects.

Inspiring cases

Our collaboration with China Unicom saw the largest deployment of the Ericsson small cell solutions and Radio Dot System in a single city. Subscribers in 500 commercial and residential buildings across Beijing now enjoy uninterrupted 4G services.

5G access

Ericsson has teamed up with Volvo Construction Equipment (CE) and Telia to run Sweden’s first 5G network for industrial use with remote-controlled machines and automation among the first applications being tested.

Together with Ericsson, Turkcell deployed a world-first technological solution: the full mixed mode baseband. Spanning a network of 68,9 million users in nine countries, Turkcell is the leading mobile network operator in Turkey.

Cellular IoT

With the ambition to make its Internet of Things (IoT) business objectives a reality, Dialog Axiata partnered with Ericsson to upgrade its network, resulting in the launch of South Asia’s first Massive IoT commercial network.

Transport

Wanting to ensure its consumers would reap the benefits of 5G at an early stage, Swiss operator Swisscom was looking for a vendor that could act as a one-stop shop in managing and maintaining its entire IP transport network. Our product portfolio and subsequent partnership with Juniper Networks made us the perfect choice.

In the heart of São Paulo's business district, smartphone penetration has reached 90 percent. Brazilian operator Vivo required a solution that would improve network quality to ensure a better user experience.

Small cells

As China Unicom's strategic partner, Ericsson is providing the small cells technology behind China's first Gigabit LTE network. Ericsson’s Radio Dot System is allowing consumers and industry to take the first step towards 5G.

Network Intelligence & Automation

Today's mobile customers want to stream and share content with the world – and they don't want to wait. With 27EB of data being used across 6 billion mobile subscriptions per month, additional hardware is needed for networks to keep up with increasing user demands. However, running additional radios at cell site locations takes time, money and electricity.

“Machine learning is assisting our engineers to make our mobile networks more proactive and immediately responsive to the needs of our customers. Vodafone is leading the industry in using AI in our radio networks because of the pioneering work between our Networks Centre of Excellence and Ericsson.”
